14 Nov 2024
Planning and Environment, Local Government
Tom Cosgrove KC appeared on behalf of Babergh District Council in successfully opposing two appeals (one seeking permission planning and one listed building consent) relating to a Grade II listed building known as Corn Hall. The case involved consideration of a full range of heritage issues including the exercise of the statutory duty under s66 of the LB Act 1990, the approach to the assessment of harm and a number of novel arguments concerning the planning history of nearby listed buildings and their relevance to the assessment of public benefits in undertaking an NPPF policy compliant heritage balance.
